Transmission Fluid Leaking Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Rpm increases between 4 and 5. 5k but unable to acceleration after descension from hill while driving on I-17. It appears my transmission/gears slip following hill descents. On 6 occasions, while driving to and from moab, utah on Aug 9-10, the engine revs up to 4. 5 - 5. 5k at the bottom of the hill/decline. I could not get out of the gear or pick up speed upon acceleration. Braking did not stop the revs. I just kept my foot off the brake and accelerator until the gear eventually kicked in. Otherwise the truck ride and drive is amazing and no other problem except getting annoying gear clunks now and then, every since I purchased it. Back in 2017 midway chevy said that is not a problem. Well, I drove my truck for the first time yesterday since the incident. The problem reoccurred while descending a very small hill in anthem. This time span was much shorter. I want to mention that I have driven my truck up I-17 from anthem, az to flagstaff and beyond at least 20 times in the last 4 years and never experienced this. I do not have a floor mat or anything on the driver side floor of the truck. There are no signs of trans fluid leaking (on garage floor etc. ), no way to check my trans fluid level. No messages showed up in the dic (driver info ctr), or on the dashboard instrument cluster (message center) (I. E. : transmission, speed, service brake assist, etc. ), no diagnostic warning and the August monthly diagnostic report did not reflect any problems. I don't think any features were accidentally turned on while driving (I. E. : tow/haul, hdc, grade braking etc. ) . The problem continued after turning truck off and restarting, which should disengage most features. I am a 70 year old woman and haven;t driven the truck hard or never hauled anything. I am 2k miles out of warranty. Will never pay 53k for a vehicle with such a lousy drive-train warranty.

Below is a list of history with repairs to my truck. In March 2004 I bought a brand new 2003 chevy Silverado 1500hd . First 2 yrs front rotars turned covered under warranty. Then 1-21-09 front rotars and calipars replaced due to rot. 1-30-09 transmission line replaced rotted. On 6-19-09 new starter. 8-29-09 rear calipers and hose rotted 35455 miles. On 9-2-09 abs sensor and left front brake hose rotted. On 8-28-10 power stering pump replaced. On 8-24-11 brake lines to abs rotted 46763 miles. 10-27-11 left rear brake line rotted 47943 miles. My windsheild washer fluid reservoir needs to be replaced leaking insrument panel shows empty. I'm having my left rear brake line replaced next week. . . Its the only one left and I dont want to take the chance of an accident. Mt mechanic states he has never seen this much rust on a fairly new vehicle. Unfortunately I didnt keep records in the early years of ownership but I cant believe transmission lines,brake lines ,calipers can rot that fast. I have never had this experience with past trucks I have owned. I believe there must be some sort of factory defect that is causing this.

The transmission/drive line shifts hard and seems to be in a bind during shifting operations. There are loud banging noises coming from the driveline/axles. There also now seems to be fluid leakage from the passenger side front axle housing. I checked the fluid level and had to add one pint of axle oil to the axle unit.
